THE BIG COFFEE DROP.
Firms on the New York Exchange Com
PEELED To suspend.

Firms on the New York Exchange Com
PEELED To suspend.
New YORK, June 13.-The excitement
in the coffee market, which has attended
the decline in coffee, reached its highest to-
day, and brokers acting for big operators
became panic stricken and rushed to sell
without regard to price. The bulls
blame the Gruner-Crossman Syndi-
cate for starting the decline,
which eliminated in to-day's panic.
but the bear syndicate strained every nerve
to check the fall, without success. in
fact the syndicate brokers were the only
buyers at the opening, which was at II
cents pound. over a cent below Satur-
days close, and although a rally was
caused by the bears supporting orders,
the rumOrs of trouble and the con-
tinued selling, caused them to stop
buying and Join the bulls
in unloading the stuff they had taken
early. All through the forenoon selling
WAS coupled with the widest scenes ever
witnessed in the exchange, and in all
offices there were knots Of brokers gather
ed, dicuSsing the prospects of re-
cOvery. IN the afternoon there was
some hope OF rally, but heavy
selling continued, and soon prices
fell of in heavy fluctuations until it
reached at - cents pound. This decline
was accompanied by notice of the suspen-
sion of three firmS-ArnOld x Co., Norton,
Weyland & Bevan, and MaCkay & Small.
After the announcement of these failures,
an organized effort was made by
prominent houses - Akey O'DOnahue,
Gruaer and Crossman to sustain
the market and they succeeded
in causing a rally OF about cent all
around. The failure of B. G. Arnold q
Co, attracted the most attention, rs they
are the most prominent house in the trade,
but it was generally anticipated. The
senior member of the firm was caught In
lss2 by a collapse of one OF the largest
deals ever attempted in coffee and was
compelled to suspend for over a million
dollars. He started in business again,
however, and was successful IN all MS
ventures. He is credited with being the
founder of the Coffee Exchange, and was
at one time its President, but on August
lst last he formed a partnership with
his son, and since then they have
done strictly commission busl-
ness. He aScribes the failure to
the fact that his customers were so far
away that it was impossible TO reach them
in time to obtain sufficient margin to meet
the decline. He could make no statement
of his liabilities and he could not say any
thing about the chance Of resuming.

LONDON, June 13.-A curious story
about Stanley is told by friend Of the
explorer, a journalist connected with a
London daily newspaper. He says that
Stanley told him just before starting on
his last expedition that he expected 10
live to see himself the most extensive land
owner in the world and one Of the wealth
lest men Of his generation.
The story was that during his eXplora-
tions Of Africa Stanley was struck with the
amazing fertility Of the region and the
superior natural advantages possessed by
many spots for use a. commercial depOts,
owing 10 their situation on great rivers
and in the centers Of sections rich in valu
able products. Firmly believing that not
many years must elapse before adyeniur-
ous white men would reduce these prOmis-
ing regions TO commercial settlements,
Stanley took advantage Of his friendly re-
lations with some OF the powerful native
chiefs to obtain by purchase several Of the
most commanding sites, and large tracts Of
the richest territory, which he intends TO
hold by title, trusting to time to make II
remunerative-
When asked if he thought his title would
be recognized, he is reported TO have de
clared that half the titles 10 land in Amer
ica rested upon precisely the same fouDda-
tion-grants by aboriginal chiefs TO the
first white settlers. He had taken preeau
ton to have white -xituesse4 TO all his
transactions, which were verified by
written instruments The consideration
given was Of course comparatively trifiing.
Stanley said the number Of sites suitable
for important trading posts on the CoDgo
and its chief tributaries is H1ited, ald
he thought he had secured the best
ones. The establishment Of the Congo
State had greatly enhanced the prospects
Of the country, and he expected 70 secure
the cooperation ofa number Of Englishmen
and Americans Of his acquaintance in de-
yeloping certain districts in which he wa
personally most interested. He intimated
that the real extent Of the wealth Of ths
region had been purposely concealed from
the general publie By thoe who were ar.

some people, came 10 your reporters notice
yesterday. Charley Barnhlll, one OF s.
Ruk2s tenants, was in bed asleep last
Saturday at the time of the fire, and did
not waken till the approaching fame,
scorched his arm. When he went To bed a
few hours before, he took his vest, with
his watch in the pocket, and put il under
his pillow. His pocket book containing
Sij. all the money he had, he also placed
under the pillow. When he Jumped out oi
bed, naturally very much excited, he took
his vest from under the pillow, but forgot
the pocket book. When he got down
stairs his money came tO his mind, and bs
went back after il. In the meantime
several men had ran up stairs, and haf
come down again. When Charley got u
his room he found the pocket hook lying or
the floor, opened, and the money al
gone. This loss in connection with
all his belongings leaves Mr. Barnhil

who took the money, and the thief may

it is feared that the agitation may lead to
trouble and the announcement and deter
mination of the miners is anxiously await
ed by the operators who employ
union miners. An act was passed
by the Legislature at its last
session, changing the pay day to semi
monthly, but so far operators have not
complied with it, aud many of them are
unable TO meet the demand. Many miners
have signed contracts for pay monthly,
bnt as the majority Of the signers are
union men, they will either have to abide
by the decision Of the meeting to-day, or

Superintendent j. II. Riddle is about
ready to lay down big lot of new water
pipe, which will very materially add tC
the comfort and convenience of large
number of our citizens. The biggest piece
of work will he the laying of an extension
of the 2O-inch pipe on Main street, from
Twenty-sixth To Twenty-seventh street, up
Twenty-seventh street to Chapline, and
down Chapine to Thirty-sixth street. A
twelve-inch pipe will also be run up
Thirty-third street and connected with the
twenty-inch line, thus giving plentiful
supply of water to that quarter of the city.
The old four.inCh pipe which extends
across the creek TO Manchester, will also be
taken up and IN eight-inch line laid down
in its place.
In conversation, yesterday, Superintend'
ent Riddle said it Was undoubtedly poor
economy for the city TO lay tourinch pipes,
In a few years they become so clogged with
sediment as to he practically worthless,
while when new and in good order, ouI
fire engines can pump such pipe dry. An
eight-inch pipe is the smallest which
should be put down.

SANKEY'S Great Land Scheme

LONDON, June 1S.-The House of Com
mons this evening resumed the debate
Coercion bill taking up tbr fifth clause,
which deals with proclaiming districts.
Henry Fowler, Liberal, proposed as an
amendment that proclamations be made by
order of Privy Council instead of by Vice
roy. He urged that change of such i'm
po-tance as proclaiming districts should
be made by the Imperial, instead OF by the
Irish Executive.
Mr.. Balfour declined to accept the
amendment.
Messrs. Healy, Mcneil, Clancy and Dill
Ion, (Nationalists), successively supported
the amendment
Mr.. Gladstone suggested the members
should not spend any more of the short
time at their command in futile discus
sions. 1t would be better, he said, If they
employ the remaining time discussing
matters of more importance.
Morley said he was sure
Mr.. Gladstone had not meant
to suggest that the opposition assist
in limiting the debate in accordance with
the governments ideas.
Opinions of the Parnellites upon the
relative importance of the amendments,
deserved more attention than the opinions
of the English members. The amendment
was put TO division and rejected 235 to
167.
Mr.. Doherty moved an amendment that
the proclamations be issued only on the
report of the Judge of the High Court
after local inquiry. Rejected 2O2 TO l26,
Mr.. Shaw Lefevre moved an amend
ment limiting the authority Of the Vice
roy in proclaiming districts where it where
it might be necessary for the prevention of
crime and outrage. He appealed to the
Government TO assent TO alteration, which
he said would bring the clause in accord
with the act of 1882.
Mr.. Bradlaugh suggested that to meet
the views of the Government the words
''and punish" be added 10 the amendment
after the word prevention"
Mr.. BalfOur annouced that the Govern
ment accepted the amendment with MIR.
Bradlaugh's modification. Cheers.
